Daily Observations .!

spoken of at Oak Hill. The victim of
the accident was young Thomas, and
Johnny Morgan was the player from
whose hands the bat slipped. This is not
very material, only as keeping the record
straight. -. "A little son of John Rey-
nolds, blacksmith, tried the experiment
of feeding one of his hands into feed
cutter yesterday. 1t cut, right along, but
left the hand in bad shape. ..... The
Camp Meeting at the Fair Ground has
had bad weather to battle against. t.....
George Reiniger is making new cistern.
49,. Mr.. John Pierce is putting up Bart
ley Blackhart's new building. And John
will do it right. -. Mr. and Mrs. S. V.
Hinkle gave party to the young people
last night, in honor of their Son Ellwood.
The little folks had splendid time, and
were sent home in a carriage, at ten
o'clock, as happy as kings-yes, and hap
pier, too. -. Milton Phillips is here, on
his way to the Reunion of the 36th, at
Athens. Aaron Henson, of Clay, is
in town Squire McClung has moved
into Frank Johnson's building.
THURsDAY.-A number of young folks
under the leadership of Mrs. r. e. Rice,
went to Franklin on a picnic excursion
to-day, and had a good time. Some of
the party sent supply of cake to the
editor of the Standard, for which they
will please accept thanks. Mr.. w. F..
Yerian went to Cincinnati yesterday to
attend Reunion of his old regiment, the
47th Ohio. His son went with him to
Cincinnati, intending to go on West.
The Fulton buildings are about complet-
ed, the men working on the apron, on top
of the stack to-day -. We called at the
Machine Shop of B. Gray, this morning,
where a hay and straw press is being
built. This is certainly a machine of
great power, and is quite a complicated
piece of machinery. The work upon it
thus far, however, shows that as fine
work can be turned out in Jackson as
anywhere else, and that Gray is the man
to turn it out -. The rains have been
strangely distributed here. Last evening,
when it rained quite hard in town, mile
west of town it scarcely sprinkled. ......
Mr.. Bailey, an old gentleman from Kan
sas, who is visiting the Long and James
families, in reply to the usual query to
Kansans, "Does the law succeed in down
ing the liquor traffic in your State ?" gives
very emphatic testimony that it does :.
There was quite lively time at the Glen
Roy picnic yesterday, several rows being
reported. Mrs. Ella Mackley and
children are visiting the family of Mr..
Bearly, of Liberty Township. -. The
Er+o foiy ont 10 oirr1f
largely attended, and the people were
well pleased. The exercises were pleas
ing. Mr.. j. NJ. Tripp, in his address,
made some happy hits, Miss Chestnut of
course sang splendidly, and Miss Adele
Matthews, a new favorite, and pretty as
apicture, sang in manner which aroused
great enthusiasm on the part of the audi
ence. Some of Jackson's old favorite
singers will have to watch Miss Mat
thews. or the bright-eyed little lady will
carry off all the honors in one bundle.
FRIDAY.-Harry Marshman went to
Wellston to-day to bury the child of Mr..
Crawford Richards. Mrs. Jacob
Thompson, of Columbus is visiting friends
here. -. Mr.. Henry Butcher, of the
Beaver neighborhood, who was thrown
from buggy and killed, was buried to-
day. Ed. Poor, of this place, attended
the funeral, among others of the acquain-
tances of deceased. There was case
before Mayor Jones to-day which was
one of the most shameful ever brought
before any Court, shameful because it
was brought at all. A little boy, eleven
years old, named Thomas Miller, son of I.
d. Miller, of Raysville, was arrested for
an outrageous assault upon Mary Esther
Connery, aged eight. The testimony
showed that the boy deserved a good,
hard, smacking, one that would raise the
blisters freely, but could not be held for
the grave charge upon which he had been
arrested. There was an appearance of
the prosecution having been sprung
through spite work, as his parents had
viousIy for assault and battery. The
sight of the innocent, polite little girl be-
ing compelled to give such testimony, in
a company of men, seems simply horrible.
We hope there will never be another such
case in Jackson .... Miss Bearly, of Linn
erick is in town. ..... Pleas. Springer and
J. Tyler Leach, of Jackson Township are
in town to-day. 49,. Mark Sternberger
has rented the fine G. M. Martin corner.
and will occupy it with his big Clothing
Store -. Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Rudisill
have returned from Camp Meeting. ......
Moses Sternberger is having the Store
Room corner on Main and Portsmouth
repainted an1 fixed up inside. .....S. E.
Brookins is putting up Bakery and con-
fectionery on Pearl Street, adjoining the
residence of Mr.. Anderson. 49,. Capt
Mitchell, Andrew Wykel, and perhaps
others, returned from the Reunion of the
36th at Athens, to-day. They report
good time, with an attendance of little
over eighty of the boys. 1t was not to be
compared with the Reunion of the same
Regiment here last year. There was lit
tie preparation made at Athens, and in
the Athens papers of this week, we see no
mention of a prospective Reunion. Gen.
Crook was prevented from coming, at the
last moment, by the outbreak of Utes, led
by old Colorow. If the 36th boys had old
Colorow about ten minutes, his scalping
days would be numbered.
SATURDAY.-A fair crowd in town..
John Turner is in Jail again. 80. Pearl
Street is trying to catch up with Ports
mouth Street, in improvements. ......
Uncle Sammy Claar called. Harry
Willard, of Wellston, is in town.
